Wind and waves have a huge impact on beach erosion they are shaping and reshaping the beaches daily, almost as if that’s their responsibility. Taking sand from the beach and moving it out to sea. The waterline just seems to be getting closer and closer than it was the day before (Kaufman and Pilkey 25-8). Waterlines are in a continuous rise and winds are working away at sand dunes. With cameras to survey the beaches, the sand is blown back and forth all around the beaches rising one side of the beach and lowering the other.
And sadly on the flip side, ever since people have been swimming/ surfing at beaches, there have been attacks on sharks. So every year, some Australians
The Flight Deck building, Collaroy In addition to the houses being unsafe to live in, they are also damaging the beach itself. After large storms over the years, the huge tides and waves have reached the houses.
Destructive waves have a stronger backwash and have a weaker swash. Destructive waves erode the beach and it destroys the beach. On that day, we did four different investigations on the Berakas Beach. We were split into groups of five for all investigations. The first investigation we did was the wave
The tide is high Happisburgh Coastal erosion happisburugh Coastal erosion is when the water and/or wind carry out sediments of land; sediment is rocks, dirt and earth. It happens mostly on beaches and shorelines because they had no vegetation or plants to be a natural protection against the water. People believe that it is just the water that erodes the coast, but both the water and wind are main factors that constantly change the boundary between the land and water. The beach can be affected severely or lightly depending on the lunar tides and the difference in water density. Coastal erosion in Happisburgh Happisburgh is to the east of England and in 2001 had a population of 1,372 in 607 households.
At North Cronulla concrete footpaths were built on existing sand dunes. However, the natural process of sand erosion caused by the waves hitting the beach undermined the pathways and they started to collapse. To halt the erosion large river stones were placed underneath the length of the path to create a base on which interlocking honeycomb shaped bricks were concreted into place. A continuous sloping retainer wall was built that is approximately 330 metres long. The retainer wall has remained in place because it withstands the continual flow of water and wind erosion.
Did you know that the Blue Bottle is also known as the Portuguese Man Of War. This is because it looks like a Portuguese battleship with a sail. They live in the warm waters all over the world. They live in large groups, sometimes in groups of thousands. When it is windy and the sea is rough they sometimes get washed up on the beach.
Floods and storm surges pose a threat to this seaside town. Like the 1953 floods which killed 7 people. Because of the floods, several breakwaters were installed. This has lead up to the wide sandy beach which has retained its Blue Flag award. If there is a flood risk, then the flood gates can be closed.
As she follows Grayson’s footprints, his fluke would create the prints tin the sea as he swam. Grayson’s skin felt like mushroom because of its rubbery and semi bumpy texture. He jumps out of the water and his body forms a log. Underwater noises coming from every direction sounded like rush-hour in Times Square New York
Image Analysis Topic: Describe the appearance and effect, in context of the film, of this extract. Extract: The Beach (2000), directed by Danny Boyle. A considerable trail of blood leads from the bottom left hand corner of the frame in the opening shot. The blood travels across the sand, to the point where beach meets trees, covering the screen almost diagonally. The significant amount of blood implies something gruesome lying just beyond the frame.
